Nextcloud Server

Your own private Nextcloud — unlimited users, billed by storage only. From €18/month, fully managed.

Not just a plan on a shared platform, but your own private Nextcloud — only your users, your apps, your rules. The pricing model is deliberately simple: you pick the storage, done. Create as many user accounts as you like — we don't bill per head, only per storage. Installation, updates, backups and monitoring are on us.

  • Unlimited users — we only bill for storage
  • Your private Nextcloud: your own apps, full admin rights
  • Euro-Office pre-installed — sovereign office suite from Europe, ready to use
  • Fully managed: updates, backups, monitoring included

What is this?

What is the Nextcloud Server — and when is it worth it?

With Nextcloud Hosting you get a plan on our shared platform — affordable, fast, more than enough for most people. With the Nextcloud Server you get your own private Nextcloud instead: a complete instance just for you, with its own user management, full admin rights and the freedom to install any Nextcloud app — including the ones the shared setup doesn't allow.

The pricing model is deliberately simple: you pick the storage, nothing else. The base formula: server plan = Nextcloud Hosting plan of the same size plus €15 for your private server; from 15 TB it's €8 per terabyte plus the same €15. Add a few in-between sizes so you never have to book more than you need. User accounts are unlimited in every plan: a club with 200 members pays the same as a family with four accounts, as long as the storage fits.

And performance? That's our job. Your server runs as a virtual machine on our infrastructure, and we assign CPU and RAM as needed. During load peaks — Monday-morning sync, big team uploads, many concurrent office editors — we scale along, and large setups get the power they need too. You don't have to guess a performance tier or size anything; that's on us.

Despite the “own server”, you don't have to administer anything yourself: we install your Nextcloud, apply updates, run the backups and monitor operations. You get full admin rights to your Nextcloud on top — using them is optional. The feature set is identical to Nextcloud Hosting — just entirely private.

Unlimited users. We only bill for storage.

The base formula is simple: Nextcloud Hosting plan of the same size + €15 for your private server, from 15 TB onwards €8 per terabyte + €15 — plus a few in-between sizes so the tier has no gaps. No user licenses, no per-head pricing, no configurator. You pick the storage — everything else is included.

All prices include 19% German VAT, cancel monthly, no setup fee. Odd amounts are rounded up in the display — at checkout you pay the exact, sometimes slightly lower price. 10% discount on yearly prepayment. Need more than 100 TB? Open a ticket and we'll put together a package that fits. Storage can be upgraded at any time without your data having to move.

Add-ons

Three useful extras — that's it.

No add-on jungle. These are the things customers actually book on top.

Nextcloud Talk HPB

€10 monthly

The High Performance Backend for Nextcloud Talk: video calls run through our dedicated backend instead of peer-to-peer — stable with up to 50 concurrent Talk users. Bookable with any Nextcloud Server, we set everything up.

More about Nextcloud Talk HPB →

OpenSearch for full-text search

€29 monthly

By default, Nextcloud only searches file names. With the Full Text Search app and an OpenSearch backend, your search also finds content — in PDFs, office documents and text files. We provide the OpenSearch server (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe), set up the integration and keep the index current.

Import of an existing Nextcloud

€49 one-time

Coming from an existing Nextcloud? We migrate configuration, database and data directory for a flat €49. Requirement: a backup or SSH access to the source. For large amounts of data you can also ship us a drive.

Only on your own server

What your own server makes possible.

The real reason to upgrade: on your private Nextcloud you install what you want — including the apps that need their own services on the server and therefore can't run on shared hosting.

Memories — your photo hub

The best photo app in the Nextcloud universe: timeline, map view, albums, faces. On your server we set it up completely — including video previews and transcoding, which require dedicated services on the server.

Recognize — photo AI without the cloud

Detects faces, objects and music genres right on your server — the pictures never leave it. The AI models need serious CPU and their own runtime environment; that's exactly what an own server is for.

Full-text search in documents

By default, Nextcloud only searches file names. With our OpenSearch add-on, your search also finds content — in PDFs, office documents and text files. Book the add-on, we set everything up.

Client Push — sync without waiting

The push service (notify_push) comes pre-installed on every Nextcloud Server: changes reach desktop clients instantly instead of at polling intervals. Noticeably faster sync, less load.

Talk HPB — conferences at scale

The High Performance Backend for Nextcloud Talk as an add-on: video calls with up to 50 concurrent users instead of small P2P rounds. Add it for €10/month, we set it up.

LibreSign — sign documents digitally

Sign PDFs right in your Nextcloud and send signature requests — even to people without a Nextcloud account. LibreSign needs its own services and a certificate setup on the server; we set up both for you free of charge.

Your app needs its own service? No problem.

Many strong Nextcloud apps need background services, binaries or their own processes on the server. On your private instance that's no issue — tell us in a ticket which app you need, and we'll set up the required services.

Pre-installed

Euro-Office is already set up here.

Euro-Office is the new sovereign office suite from Europe — backed by Nextcloud, IONOS, XWiki and OpenProject among others, deliberately independent of Microsoft 365 and Google Docs. Technically it builds on the established OnlyOffice engine and is openly developed under European control. On your Nextcloud Server it comes pre-installed: you log in and start working right away — no setup, no extra charge.

  • Pre-installed and ready to use — no setup, no extra click
  • Built on the proven OnlyOffice engine — hence excellent compatibility with Word, Excel and PowerPoint (.docx/.xlsx/.pptx)
  • Edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations right in the browser — with several people at once, in real time
  • Open formats (ODF) natively — no format lock-in
  • European sovereignty: independent of Microsoft 365 and Google Docs, data in Germany
  • No extra charge — included with every Nextcloud Server

Features

The full Nextcloud feature set.

Exactly like our Nextcloud Hosting — except the whole instance is yours.

File sync on all your devices

Drop a file in once and it's on all your devices right away — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android. Version history included, in case you need an older version.

Calendars and contacts

CalDAV and CardDAV included. Appointments, tasks and your address book sync with Apple Calendar, Outlook, Thunderbird and everything else that speaks the open standards.

Edit documents live in the browser

Euro-Office comes pre-installed — the new sovereign office suite from Europe. Word, Excel, PowerPoint right in the browser, several people at once, open ODF formats, independent of Microsoft 365 and Google Docs. No office licensing drama. If you prefer OnlyOffice or Collabora, you can use those instead — and when a lot of people need to edit at the same time, there's Euro-Office Hosting as a dedicated server on top.

Talk: chat and video calls

Built-in chat and video — browser to browser, no Zoom account, no Teams license. Works for the occasional family hangout too.

Automatic photo upload from your phone

The Nextcloud app on iOS and Android uploads your photos automatically — the moment you're on Wi-Fi. Like iCloud, except you know the server.

Groups, permissions, sharing links

Set up groups for your family, club or team. Share individual folders with read or write access. External links with a password and expiry date.

Your own apps from the app store

Over 200 Nextcloud apps to bolt on — notes, tasks, a mail client, bookmarks, maps, spreadsheets, mind maps. You click them together like on a smartphone.

End-to-end encryption

Optional for sensitive folders — data is encrypted on your device before it ever reaches us. Not even we can see the contents.

Unlimited users in every plan

You pay for storage, not for users. Create as many accounts as you need — family, club, team, externals as guests. No license bookkeeping, no per-user pricing trap like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. If the storage is enough, the plan is enough — whether for 3 or 30 people.

What sets us apart

A private cloud, a simple price, real support.

Vorteil 01

Unlimited users. Period.

Nextcloud licenses per storage, not per user — so do we. Four accounts or four hundred: the price stays the same as long as the storage fits. For most cloud providers, the user count is the pricing lever. Here it simply doesn't matter.

Vorteil 02

One formula instead of a configurator.

Nextcloud Hosting plan + €15 for the private server, from 15 TB a flat €8 per terabyte + €15, with a few in-between sizes — that's the entire price list. No performance tiers, no 20 sliders. You pick one number: your storage.

Vorteil 03

Performance on demand instead of rigid tiers.

Your server runs as a virtual machine to which we assign CPU and RAM as needed. During load peaks we scale along — and large setups with many concurrent users get the power they need. You only pick the storage; sizing is our job.

Vorteil 04

Private means private.

Your Nextcloud is its own instance — with its own user management, its own apps and its own rules. Anyone you haven't invited has no business there. And if you need an app that's blocked on shared hosting, you just install it.

Vorteil 05

Managed means: you do nothing, unless you want to.

Running Nextcloud yourself is a full-time job — PHP tuning, database, updates, backups. With us, that runs in the background. You get admin rights for your instance, but maintaining the foundation is our business. You save the time and keep the control.

Vorteil 06

Real engineers in the ticket queue.

When your sync gets stuck, an app acts up or you have a configuration question: your ticket is answered by someone on the team who knows Nextcloud inside out. No script, no escalation loop.

Vorteil 07

Servers in Germany · GDPR by default.

Your Nextcloud runs in a German data center, backups are mirrored across sites. That puts your data under German and European law. Data processing agreement (DPA) on request.

Setup

Five steps to your own Nextcloud.

  1. 1

    Pick your storage

    From 250 GB to 100 TB — pick what fits your data. Better to start lean than to oversize: you can upgrade later at any time without moving data.

  2. 2

    Order and wait for the server build

    Once payment arrives, we set up your private Nextcloud — installation, base configuration, backups. You're typically ready to go within 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Access and domain

    You receive the admin credentials for your Nextcloud. Your instance runs under a subdomain with us or, if you prefer, under your own domain — we set up the SSL certificate.

  4. 4

    Import an existing Nextcloud (optional)

    Coming from an existing Nextcloud? We migrate configuration, database and data directory for a flat €49. Requirement: a backup or SSH access to the source. For large amounts of data you can also ship us a drive.

  5. 5

    Create users and get going

    Create accounts — as many as you like —, install apps from the Nextcloud app store, set up sharing links. Questions about the initial setup? We'll advise you free of charge.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference to Nextcloud Hosting?
With Nextcloud Hosting you get a plan on our shared platform — affordable and more than enough for most. With the Nextcloud Server you get your own private instance: your own user management, full admin rights, your own apps. The feature set of Nextcloud itself is identical in both cases — with the server, the whole instance is simply yours.
How is the price calculated?
The base formula: up to 10 TB, a server plan equals the Nextcloud Hosting plan of the same storage size plus €15 for your private server — 250 GB as a private server costs €18, for example. From 15 TB the storage tier applies: €8 per terabyte plus the same €15. In between sit a few intermediate sizes so the tier has no gaps. No user licenses, no hidden items.
Really unlimited users?
Yes. Nextcloud licenses per storage, not per user — and we pass that on unchanged. Create as many accounts as you like; only the booked storage is billed. A club with 200 members pays the same as a family with four accounts.
How much computing power does my server get?
As much as it needs. Your server runs as a virtual machine on our infrastructure, and we assign CPU and RAM as needed — during load peaks we scale along, and large setups with many concurrent users get the power they need. That's why you won't find performance tiers here: you pick the storage, sizing is our job. If your setup keeps growing heavily over time, we'll come to you about the right fit.
What happens when my storage is full?
You simply upgrade to the next larger plan — no data migration, no new setup. The tier goes up to 100 TB; if you need even more, open a ticket.
Who takes care of updates and backups?
We do. Nextcloud updates, security patches, backups and monitoring run automatically on our side. Seven daily backups, mirrored across sites. You don't have to do anything, unless you want to.
What is the Nextcloud Talk HPB — and do I need it?
Without a High Performance Backend, Talk video calls run peer-to-peer — that works well up to about four participants, after which clients and connections buckle. With the Talk HPB, the streams run through our dedicated backend: stable with up to 50 concurrent Talk users. As an add-on to the Nextcloud Server it costs €10/month, we set everything up. If your calls are just two or three people, you don't need it.
Can I digitally sign documents with my Nextcloud?
Yes — with LibreSign: sign PDFs right in Nextcloud and send signature requests to others, including recipients without a Nextcloud account. The app needs its own services and a certificate setup on the server; on your Nextcloud Server we set that up free of charge — just open a ticket. Plain words on the legal side: LibreSign creates simple and advanced electronic signatures — enough for the vast majority of everyday business contracts. It is not a qualified electronic signature (QES) under eIDAS, which some documents with a statutory written-form requirement demand — those only come from qualified trust service providers.
Do I get admin access?
Yes, full admin rights to your Nextcloud: manage users and groups, install apps, set sharing rules, adjust the design. The system underneath — operating system, database, web server — is our job, so maintenance and updates run cleanly.
Which office suite is included, and can I add add-ons?
Euro-Office comes pre-installed — the new sovereign office suite from Europe, ready to use for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in the browser. Prefer OnlyOffice or Collabora? That works too. For larger conferences there's BigBlueButton as an add-on, for very many concurrent editors a dedicated Euro-Office server — or OnlyOffice if you want a commercial license with vendor support. Talk to us, we'll build the setup that fits.
Can I switch from Nextcloud Hosting to the server?
Yes. Open a ticket and we'll plan the move with you — your data, calendars and contacts move along.
What's the minimum contract term?
One month, cancel monthly. Yearly prepayment gets you a 10% discount.
What about uptime and maintenance windows?
99.9% availability as a yearly average. We announce planned maintenance at least 48 hours ahead, usually at night. Security updates are applied continuously, mostly without downtime.
